Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Jabil Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as the “Company”) is one of the leading providers of manufacturing services and solutions. The Company provides comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services to companies in various industries and end markets. The Company’s services combine a highly automated, continuous flow manufacturing approach with advanced electronic design and design for manufacturability technologies. The Company is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida and has manufacturing operations principally in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are as follows: Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Company has made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior periods’ Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to the current presentation. Use of Accounting Estimates Management is required to make estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of 90 days or less. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables and other miscellaneous receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses based on historical losses, the age of past due receivables, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. Bad debts are charged to this allowance after all attempts to collect the balance are exhausted. As the financial condition and circumstances of the Company’s customers change, adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are made as necessary. Contract Balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing a customer (“contract assets”) while a liability is recognized when a customer provides consideration prior to the Company transferring control of the goods or services (“contract liabilities”). Amounts recognized as contract assets are generally transferred to receivables in the succeeding quarter due to the short-term nature of the manufacturing cycle. Contract assets are classified separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and transferred to receivables when right to payment becomes unconditional. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses related to contract assets based on historical losses, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from our customers. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis) and net realizable value. Inventory is valued based on current and forecasted usage, customer inventory-related contractual obligations and other lower of cost and net realizable value considerations. If actual market conditions or customer product demands are less favorable than those projected, additional valuation adjustments may be necessary. Fulfillment Costs The Company capitalizes costs incurred to fulfill its contracts that i) relate directly to the contract or anticipated contracts, ii) are expected to generate or enhance the Company’s resources that will be used to satisfy the performance obligation under the contract, and iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated from the contract. Capitalized fulfillment costs are amortized to cost of revenue as the Company satisfies the related performance obligations under the contract with approximate lives ranging from 1 year to 3 years. These costs, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, generally represent upfront costs incurred to prepare for manufacturing activities. The Company assesses the capitalized fulfillment costs for impairment at the end of each reporting period. The Company will recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount of the capitalized costs exceeds the recoverable amount. Recoverability is assessed by considering the capitalized fulfillment costs in relation to the forecasted profitability of the related manufacturing performance obligations. As of August 31, 2022 and 2021, capitalized costs to fulfill were $175 million and $133 million, respectively. Amortization of fulfillment costs were $74 million, $58 million and $57 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Property, Plant and Equipment, net Property, plant and equipment is capitalized at cost and depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives for major classes of depreciable assets are as follows: Asset Class Estimated Useful Life Buildings Up to 35 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or useful life of the improvement Machinery and equipment 2 to 10 years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 years Computer hardware and software 3 to 7 years Transportation equipment 3 years Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of operating income. Leases The Company has lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed beginning in fiscal year 2020, the Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for building and real estate leases. The Company primarily has leases for buildings, machinery and equipment with lease terms ranging from 1 year to 34 years. Leases for other classes of assets are not significant. For any leases with an initial term in excess of 12 months, the Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at contract inception by evaluating if the contract conveys the right to use and control the specific property or equipment. Certain lease agreements contain purchase or renewal options. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Generally, the Company’s lease agreements do not contain material restrictive covenants. Right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date. When determining the present value of future payment, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate when the implicit rate is not readily determinable. Any payment deemed probable under residual value guarantees is included in lease payments. Any variable payments, other than those that depend on an index or rate, are excluded from right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain equipment and buildings held under finance leases are classified as property, plant and equipment and the related obligation is recorded as accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of assets held under finance leases is included in depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company accounts for goodwill in a business combination as the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired and is assigned to the reporting unit in which the acquired business will operate. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit is impaired. If the qualitative assessment is not performed or if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units based on an average weighting of both projected discounted future results and the use of comparative market multiples. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a loss recognized in the amount equal to that excess. The recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the fair value. The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible is impaired. If the qualitative assessment is not performed or if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible exceeds the carrying value, the Company determines the fair value principally based on a variation of the income approach, known as the relief from royalty method. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is considered impaired. Business combinations can also result in other intangible assets being recognized. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on either a straight-line or accelerated basis over their estimated useful life and include contractual agreements and customer relationships, tradenames and intellectual property. No significant residual values are estimated for the amortizable intangible assets. Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset or asset group is measured by comparing its carrying amount to the undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group over its respective fair value, which is generally determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows or as the appraised value. Derivative Instruments All derivative instruments are recorded gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of tax, and is subsequently reclassified into the line item within the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period in which the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognized immediately in current earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, gains and losses from changes in fair values are recognized in earnings. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income The following table sets forth the changes in AOCI, net of tax, by component during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 (in millions): Foreign Derivative Actuarial Gain (Loss) Prior Service (Cost) Credit Total Balance as of August 31, 2021 $ (20) $ (36) $ 51 $ (20) $ (25) Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications (68) 1 28 — (39) Amounts reclassified from AOCI — 32 (14) 4 22 Other comprehensive (loss) income (1) (68) 33 14 4 (17) Balance as of August 31, 2022 $ (88) $ (3) $ 65 $ (16) $ (42) (1) Amounts are net of tax, which are immaterial.

(2) Amounts are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost. Refer to Note 10 – “Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits” for additional information. (3) Amounts are net of tax, which are immaterial for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Foreign Currency Transactions For the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use a currency other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, the assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The effects of these translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in operating income. Revenue Recognition The Company provides comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services to companies in various industries and end markets. The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from production and product management services (collectively referred to as “manufacturing services”), which encompasses the act of producing tangible products that are built to customer specifications, which are then provided to the customer. The Company generally enters into manufacturing service contracts with its customers that provide the framework under which business will be conducted and customer purchase orders will be received for specific quantities and with predominantly fixed pricing. As a result, the Company considers its contract with a customer to be the combination of the manufacturing service contract and the purchase order, or any agreements or other similar documents. The majority of the Company's manufacturing service contracts relate to manufactured products which have no alternative use and for which the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the work completed to date. As a result, revenue is recognized over time when or as the Company transfers control of the promised products or services (known as performance obligations) to its customers. For certain other contracts with customers that do not meet the over time revenue recognition criteria, transfer of control occurs at a point in time which generally occurs upon delivery and transfer of risk and title to the customer. Most of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual manufactured product or service is capable of being distinct and is distinct within the context of the contract. For the majority of customers, performance obligations are satisfied over time based on the continuous transfer of control as manufacturing services are performed and are generally completed in less than one year. The Company also derives revenue to a lesser extent from electronic design services to certain customers. Revenue from electronic design services is generally recognized over time as the services are performed. For the Company’s over time customers, it believes the measure of progress which best depicts the transfer of control is based on costs incurred to date, relative to total estimated cost at completion (i.e., an input method). This method is a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods or services because it results in the recognition of revenue on the basis of the Company's to-date efforts in the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected efforts in the satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company believes that the use of an input method best depicts the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts. The transaction price of each performance obligation is generally based upon the contractual stand-alone selling price of the product or service. Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration, such as periodic cost of materials adjustments, rebates, discounts, or returns. The Company recognizes estimates of this variable consideration that are not expected to result in a significant revenue reversal in the future, primarily based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs. The Company is responsible for procuring certain components from suppliers for the manufacturing of finished goods at the direction of certain customers. If the Company does not obtain control of these components before they are transferred to the customer, the Company accounts for revenue associated with such components on a net basis. Revenue associated with components procured directly from customers is accounted for on a net basis if the components do not constitute a distinct good or service from the customer. Taxes collected from the Company’s customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations on a net basis and are excluded from the transaction price. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the goods. Accordingly, the Company records customer payments of shipping and handling costs as a component of net revenue, and classifies such costs as a component of cost of revenue. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period for outstanding stock awards. The stock-based compensation expense for time-based and performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“restricted stock units”) is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. For restricted stock units with performance conditions, stock-based compensation expense is originally based on the number of shares that would vest if the Company achieved 100% of the performance goal, which is the intended outcome at the grant date. Throughout the requisite service period, management monitors the probability of achievement of the performance condition. If it becomes probable, based on the Company’s performance, that more or less than the current estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to stock-based compensation expense will be recognized as a change in accounting estimate in the period that such probability changes. The stock-based compensation expense for market-based restricted stock units is measured at fair value on the date of grant. The market conditions are considered in the grant date fair value using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to determine the probability of the Company achieving the specified market conditions. Stock-based compensation expense related to an award with a market condition will be recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service period has been completed. The Company currently expects to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued. See Note 12 – “Stockholders’ Equity” for further discussion of stock-based compensation expense. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets (“DTA”) and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. The Company records the effects of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) as a period cost and applies the incremental cash tax savings approach when analyzing the impact GILTI could have on its U.S. valuation allowance. The incremental cash tax savings approach considers the realizable benefit of a net operating loss and deferred tax assets by comparing the incremental cash taxes in the calculation of GILTI with and without the net operating loss and other DTAs. Earnings Per Share The Company calculates its basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to Jabil Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the effect of dilutive securities. The difference between the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding and the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is primarily due to dilutive unvested restricted stock units. Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when their effect would be antidilutive. Performance-based restricted stock units are considered dilutive when the related performance criterion have been met assuming the end of the reporting period represents the end of the performance period. All potential shares of common stock are antidilutive in periods of net loss. Potential shares of common stock not included in the computation of earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive or because the performance criterion was not met were as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 2021 2020 Restricted stock units 209.4 655.0 728.3 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]
Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs	Trade Accounts Receivable Sale Programs The Company regularly sells designated pools of high credit quality trade accounts receivable under uncommitted trade accounts receivable sale programs to unaffiliated financial institutions without recourse. As these accounts receivable are sold without recourse, the Company does not retain the associated risks following the transfer of such accounts receivable to the respective financial institutions. The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under each of the trade accounts receivable sale programs. Servicing fees related to each of the trade accounts receivable sale programs recognized during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities. Transfers of the receivables under the trade accounts receivable sale programs are accounted for as sales and, accordingly, net receivables sold under the trade accounts receivable sale programs are excluded from accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The following is a summary of the trade accounts receivable sale programs with unaffiliated financial institutions where the Company may elect to sell receivables and the unaffiliated financial institution may elect to purchase, at a discount, on an ongoing basis (in millions): Program Maximum (1) Type of Expiration A $ 700 Uncommitted December 5, 2022 (2) B $ 150 Uncommitted November 30, 2022 C 400 CNY Uncommitted August 31, 2023 D $ 150 Uncommitted May 4, 2023 (3) E $ 150 Uncommitted January 25, 2023 (3) F $ 50 Uncommitted February 23, 2023 (4) G $ 100 Uncommitted August 10, 2023 (3) H $ 550 Uncommitted December 4, 2022 (5) I $ 135 Uncommitted April 11, 2023 (6) J 100 CHF Uncommitted December 5, 2022 (2) K $ 65 Uncommitted January 23, 2023 (1) Maximum amount of trade accounts receivable that may be sold under a facility at any one time.

Global asset-backed securitization program - Effective August 20, 2021, the global securitization program (formerly referred to as the North American asset-backed securitization program) terms were amended to: (i) add a foreign entity to the program, (ii) increase the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available at any one time from $390 million to $600 million and (iii) extend the expiration date of the program to November 25, 2024. As of August 31, 2022, the Company had no available liquidity under its global asset-backed securitization program. Certain entities participating in the global asset-backed securitization program continuously sell designated pools of trade accounts receivable to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells certain of the receivables at a discount to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a monthly basis. In addition, the foreign entity participating in the global asset-backed securitization program sells certain receivables at a discount to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a daily basis. The special purpose entity in the global asset-backed securitization program is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain unsold receivables covering up to the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available under the domestic, or U.S., portion of the global asset-backed securitization program are pledged as collateral to the unaffiliated financial institution as of August 31, 2022. Foreign asset-backed securitization program - The Company terminated the foreign asset-backed securitization program on June 28, 2021.

(6) The program will be automatically extended through April 11, 2025 unless either party provides 30 days notice of termination. In connection with the trade accounts receivable sale programs, the Company recognized the following (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 2021 2020 Trade accounts receivable sold $ 8,513 $ 4,654 $ 8,457 Cash proceeds received $ 8,504 $ 4,651 $ 8,440 Pre-tax losses on sale of receivables (1) $ 9 $ 3 $ 17 (1) Recorded to other expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Global asset-backed securitization program - Effective August 20, 2021, the global securitization program (formerly referred to as the North American asset-backed securitization program) terms were amended to: (i) add a foreign entity to the program, (ii) increase the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available at any one time from $390 million to $600 million and (iii) extend the expiration date of the program to November 25, 2024. As of August 31, 2022, the Company had no available liquidity under its global asset-backed securitization program. Certain entities participating in the global asset-backed securitization program continuously sell designated pools of trade accounts receivable to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells certain of the receivables at a discount to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a monthly basis. In addition, the foreign entity participating in the global asset-backed securitization program sells certain receivables at a discount to conduits administered by an unaffiliated financial institution on a daily basis. The special purpose entity in the global asset-backed securitization program is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain unsold receivables covering up to the maximum amount of net cash proceeds available under the domestic, or U.S., portion of the global asset-backed securitization program are pledged as collateral to the unaffiliated financial institution as of August 31, 2022. Foreign asset-backed securitization program - The Company terminated the foreign asset-backed securitization program on June 28, 2021. In connection with the termination, the Company paid approximately $167 million in cash, which consisted of: (i) $68 million for the remittance of collections received prior to June 28, 2021, in the Company’s role as servicer of sold receivables and (ii) a repurchase of $99 million of all previously sold receivables, at fair value, that remained outstanding as of June 28, 2021. As of August 31, 2021, the Company had substantially collected the repurchased receivables from customers. Global and foreign asset-backed securitization programs- The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under the global asset-backed securitization programs. Servicing fees related to each of the asset-backed securitization programs recognized during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities. Transfers of the receivables under the asset-backed securitization programs are accounted for as sales and, accordingly, net receivables sold under the asset-backed securitization programs are excluded from accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In connection with the asset-backed securitization programs, the Company recognized the following (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 2021 (3) 2020 Trade accounts receivable sold $ 3,932 $ 4,222 $ 4,333 Cash proceeds received (1) $ 3,919 $ 4,202 $ 4,314 Proceeds due from bank $ — $ 10 $ — Pre-tax losses on sale of receivables (2) $ 13 $ 10 $ 19 (1) The amounts primarily represent proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving-period transfers.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits	Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits Postretirement Benefits The Company has a qualified defined benefit pension plan As a result of the third closing of the Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies (“JJMD”) acquisition, the Company assumed a pension obligation for employees in Switzerland (the “Switzerland plan”). The Switzerland plan, which is a qualified defined benefit pension plan, provides benefits based on average employee earnings over an approximately 8 year service period preceding retirement and length of employee service. The Company’s policy is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in Switzerland employee benefit and tax laws plus such additional amounts as are deemed appropriate by the Company. Additionally, as a result of acquiring various other operations in Europe, Asia and Mexico the Company assumed both qualified and unfunded nonqualified retirement benefits covering eligible employees who meet age and service requirements (the “other plans”). The UK plan, Switzerland plan and other plans are collectively referred to herein as the “plans.” Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets The projected benefit obligations (“PBO”) and plan assets, changes to the PBO and plan assets and the funded status of the plans as of and for the fiscal years ended August 31 are as follows (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 2021 Change in PBO Beginning PBO $ 587 $ 559 Service cost 25 25 Interest cost 4 5 Actuarial (gain) loss (119) 2 Settlements paid from plan assets (1) (28) (44) Total benefits paid (13) (17) Plan participants’ contributions 21 25 Plan amendments — 24 Acquisitions — 8 Effect of conversion to U.S. dollars (45) — Ending PBO $ 432 $ 587 Change in plan assets Beginning fair value of plan assets 576 538 Actual return on plan assets (68) 55 Acquisitions — — Settlements paid from plan assets (1) (28) (44) Employer contributions 16 17 Benefits paid from plan assets (12) (15) Plan participants’ contributions 21 25 Effect of conversion to U.S. dollars (46) — Ending fair value of plan assets $ 459 $ 576 Funded (unfunded) status $ 27 $ (11) Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Accrued benefit liability, current $ 1 $ 1 Accrued benefit asset, noncurrent $ 28 $ — Accrued benefit liability, noncurrent $ — $ 10 Accumulated other comprehensive loss (2) Actuarial gain, before tax $ (85) $ (69) Prior service cost, before tax $ 18 $ 23 (1) The settlements recognized during fiscal years 2022 and 2021 relate primarily to the Switzerland plan. (2) The Company anticipates amortizing $14 million and $4 million, before tax, of net actuarial gain and prior service costs balances, respectively, to net periodic cost in fiscal year 2023. Accumulated Benefit Obligation The following table summarizes the total accumulated benefit obligations (“ABO”), the ABO and fair value of plan assets for defined benefit pension plans with ABO in excess of plan assets, and the PBO and fair value of plan assets for defined benefit pension plans with PBO in excess of plan assets for fiscal years 2022 and 2021 (in millions): August 31, 2022 August 31, 2021 ABO $ 417 $ 563 Plans with ABO in excess of plan assets ABO $ 41 $ 59 Fair value of plan assets $ 19 $ 26 Plans with PBO in excess of plan assets PBO $ 51 $ 74 Fair value of plan assets $ 19 $ 26 Net Periodic Benefit Cost The following table provides information about the net periodic benefit cost for the plans for fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020 (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 2021 2020 Service cost (1) $ 25 $ 25 $ 25 Interest cost (2) 4 5 3 Expected long-term return on plan assets (2) (17) (16) (15) Recognized actuarial gain (2) (6) (10) (3) Amortization of actuarial gains (2)(3) (8) (6) — Net settlement loss (2) 1 1 — Amortization of prior service costs (2) 4 1 — Net periodic benefit cost $ 3 $ — $ 10 (1) Service cost is recognized in cost of revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. (2) Components are recognized in other expense (3) Actuarial gains and losses are amortized using a corridor approach. The gain/loss corridor is equal to 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Gains and losses in excess of the corridor are generally amortized over the average future working lifetime of the plan participants. Assumptions Weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost and PBO for the plans for the fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 2021 2020 Net periodic benefit cost: Expected long-term return on plan assets (1) 3.0 % 2.9 % 3.0 % Rate of compensation increase 2.2 % 2.1 % 2.0 % Discount rate 0.7 % 0.8 % 0.5 % PBO: Expected long-term return on plan assets 3.6 % 3.0 % 2.9 % Rate of compensation increase 2.1 % 2.2 % 2.1 % Discount rate (2) 2.6 % 0.7 % 0.8 % (1) The expected return on plan assets assumption used in calculating net periodic benefit cost is based on historical return experience and estimates of future long-term performance with consideration to the expected investment mix of the plan. (2) The discount rate is used to state expected cash flows relating to future benefits at a present value on the measurement date. This rate represents the market rate for high-quality fixed income investments whose timing would match the cash outflow of retirement benefits. Other assumptions include demographic factors such as retirement, mortality and turnover. Plan Assets The Company has adopted an investment policy for a majority of plan assets, which was set by plan trustees who have the responsibility for making investment decisions related to the plan assets. The plan trustees oversee the investment allocation, including selecting professional investment managers and setting strategic targets. The investment objectives for the assets are (1) to acquire suitable assets that hold the appropriate liquidity in order to generate income and capital growth that, along with new contributions, will meet the cost of current and future benefits under the plan, (2) to limit the risk of the plan assets from failing to meet the plan liabilities over the long-term and (3) to minimize the long-term costs under the plan by maximizing the return on the plan assets. Investment policies and strategies governing the assets of the plans are designed to achieve investment objectives with prudent risk parameters. Risk management practices include the use of external investment managers; the maintenance of a portfolio diversified by asset class, investment approach and security holdings; and the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet benefit obligations as they come due. Within the equity securities class, the investment policy provides for investments in a broad range of publicly traded securities including both domestic and international stocks. Within the debt securities class, the investment policy provides for investments in corporate bonds as well as fixed and variable interest debt instruments. The Company currently expects to achieve a target mix of 40% equity and 60% debt securities in fiscal year 2023. Fair Value The fair values of the plan assets held by the Company by asset category are as follows (in millions): August 31, 2022 August 31, 2021 Fair Value Fair Value Asset Fair Value Asset Asset Category Cash and cash equivalents (1) Level 1 $ 13 3 % $ 15 3 % Equity Securities: Global equity securities (2)(3) Level 2 197 43 % 222 39 % Debt Securities: Corporate bonds (3) Level 2 203 44 % 262 45 % Government bonds (3) Level 2 34 7 % 58 10 % Other Investments: Insurance contracts (4) Level 3 12 3 % 19 3 % Fair value of plan assets $ 459 100 % $ 576 100 % (1) Carrying value approximates fair value. (2) Investments in equity securities by companies incorporated, listed or domiciled in developed and/or emerging market countries. (3) Investments in global equity securities, corporate bonds, government securities and government bonds are valued using the quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. (4) Consist of an insurance contract that guarantees the payment of the funded pension entitlements, as well as provides a profit share to the Company. The profit share in this contract is not based on actual investments, but, instead on a notional investment portfolio that is expected to return a pre-defined rate. Insurance contract assets are recorded at fair value and is determined based on the cash surrender value of the insured benefits which is the present value of the guaranteed funded benefits. Insurance contracts are valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), primarily by discounting expected future cash flows relating to benefits paid from a notional investment portfolio in order to determine the cash surrender value of the policy. The unobservable inputs consist of estimated future benefits to be paid throughout the duration of the policy and estimated discount rates, which both have an immaterial impact on the fair value estimate of the contract. Cash Flows The Company expects to make cash contributions between $23 million and $28 million to its funded pension plans during fiscal year 2023. The estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are as follows (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, Amount 2023 $ 34 2024 $ 28 2025 $ 30 2026 $ 29 2027 $ 29 2028 through 2032 $ 141 Profit Sharing, 401(k) Plan and Defined Contribution Plans The Company provides retirement benefits to its domestic employees who have completed a 30-day period of service through a 401(k) plan that provides a matching contribution by the Company. The Company also has defined contribution benefit plans for certain of its international employees. The Company contributed approximately $63 million, $56 million and $56 million for defined contribution plans for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities	Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesThe Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company’s financial performance and are referred to as market risks. The Company, where deemed appropriate, uses derivatives as risk management tools to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative instruments are foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. Foreign Currency Risk Management Forward contracts are put in place to manage the foreign currency risk associated with the anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses. A hedging relationship existed with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion as of August 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The related forward foreign exchange contracts have been designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The forward foreign exchange contract transactions will effectively lock in the value of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses against foreign currency fluctuations. The anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses being hedged are expected to occur between September 1, 2022 and August 31, 2023. In addition to derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also enters into forward contracts to economically hedge transactional exposure associated with commitments arising from trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, fixed purchase obligations and intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective operating entity. The aggregate notional amount of these outstanding contracts as of August 31, 2022 and 2021, was $3.4 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. Refer to Note 17 – “Fair Value Measurements” for the fair values and classification of the Company’s derivative instruments. The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing were not material for all periods presented and are included as components of net revenue, cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expense, which are the same line items in which the hedged items are recorded. The following table presents the net (losses) gains from forward contracts recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated (in millions): Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Under ASC 815 Location of (Loss) Gain on Derivatives Recognized in Net Income Amount of (Loss) Gain Recognized in Net Income on Derivatives Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 2021 2020 Forward foreign exchange contracts (1) Cost of revenue $ (71) $ 140 $ 42 (1) For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, the Company recognized $87 million of foreign currency gains in cost of revenue, which are offset by the losses from the forward foreign exchange contracts. For the fiscal years ended 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $105 million and $47 million, respectively, of foreign currency losses in cost of revenue, which are offset by the gains from the forward foreign exchange contracts. Interest Rate Risk Management The Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings. Cash Flow Hedges The following table presents the interest rate swaps outstanding as of August 31, 2022, which have been designated as hedging instruments and accounted for as cash flow hedges (in millions): Interest Rate Swap Summary Hedged Interest Rate Payments Aggregate Notional Amount Effective Date Expiration Date Forward Interest Rate Swap Anticipated Debt Issuance Fixed $ 150 May 24, 2021 July 31, 2024 (1)(2) Anticipated Debt Issuance Fixed $ 100 August 8, 2022 July 31, 2024 (1)(2) (1) The contracts will be settled with the respective counterparties on a net basis at the expiration date for the forward interest rate swap. (2) If the anticipated debt issuance occurs before July 31, 2024, the contracts will be terminated simultaneously with the debt issuance. Contemporaneously with the issuance of the 4.250% Senior Notes, in April 2022 the Company settled cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $250 million and $170 million, with effective dates of November 2020 and March 2022, respectively. The cash received for the cash flow hedges at settlement was $46 million. The settled cash flow hedges are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of AOCI and are amortized to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Contemporaneously with the issuance of the 3.000% Senior Notes in July 2020, the Company amended interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $200 million, with mandatory termination dates from August 15, 2020 through February 15, 2022 (the “2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps”). In addition, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to offset future exposures of fluctuations in the fair value of the 2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps (the “Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps”). The change in fair value of the 2020 Extended Interest Rate Swaps and Offsetting Interest Rate Swaps was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations through the maturity date of February 15, 2022, as an adjustment to interest expense.

The maximum aggregate number of shares that are available for issuance under the 2021 EIP is 11,000,000. Following is a reconciliation of the shares available to be issued under the 2021 EIP as of August 31, 2022: Shares Available for Grant Balance as of August 31, 2021 10,981,300 Restricted stock units granted, net of forfeitures (1) (1,007,006) Balance as of August 31, 2022 9,974,294 (1) Represents the maximum number of shares that can be issued based on the achievement of certain performance criteria. Restricted Stock Units Certain key employees have been granted time-based, performance-based and market-based restricted stock units. The time-based restricted stock units granted generally vest on a graded vesting schedule over three years. The performance-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 150%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The performance-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is based upon the Company’s cumulative adjusted core earnings per share during the performance period. The market-based restricted stock units generally vest on a cliff vesting schedule over three years and up to a maximum of 200%, depending on the specified performance condition and the level of achievement obtained. The market-based restricted stock units have a vesting condition that is tied to the Company’s total shareholder return based on the Company’s stock performance in relation to the companies in the Standard and Poor’s (S&P) Super Composite Technology Hardware and Equipment Index excluding the Company. The following table summarizes restricted stock units activity from August 31, 2021 through August 31, 2022: Shares Weighted- Outstanding as of August 31, 2021 5,909,131 $ 36.51 Changes during the period Shares granted (1) 1,306,995 $ 68.11 Shares vested (2,503,143) $ 28.66 Shares forfeited (299,989) $ 42.90 Outstanding as of August 31, 2022 4,412,994 $ 49.87 (1) For those shares granted that are based on the achievement of certain performance criteria, the amount represents the maximum number of shares that can vest. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Company awarded approximately 0.7 million time-based restricted stock units, 0.2 million performance-based restricted stock units and 0.2 million market-based restricted stock units based on target performance criteria. The following table represents the restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) stock-based compensation information for the periods indicated (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 2021 2020 Intrinsic value of SARS exercised $ — $ — $ 2 Fair value of restricted stock units vested $ 72 $ 69 $ 56 Tax benefit for stock compensation expense (1) $ 2 $ 1 $ 1 Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense — restricted stock units $ 34 Remaining weighted-average period for restricted stock units expense 1.4 years (1) Classified as income tax expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The maximum aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) is 23,000,000. Employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP after 90 days of employment with the Company. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions, which may not exceed 10% of an employee’s compensation, as defined in the ESPP, at a price equal to 85% of the fair value of the common stock at the beginning or end of the offering period, whichever is lower. The ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of August 31, 2022, 11,031,290 shares remained available for issue under the 2011 ESPP. The fair value of shares issued under the ESPP was estimated on the commencement date of each offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the model for each respective period: Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 2021 2020 Expected dividend yield 0.3 % 0.5 % 0.4 % Risk-free interest rate 0.1 % 0.1 % 1.9 % Expected volatility (1) 29.6 % 32.9 % 30.7 % Expected life 0.5 years 0.5 years 0.5 years (1) The expected volatility was estimated using the historical volatility derived from the Company’s common stock.

Concentration of Risk and Segment Data	Aug. 31, 2022
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Concentration of Risk and Segment Data	Concentration of Risk and Segment Data Concentration of Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various domestic and foreign financial institutions. Deposits held with the financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, but may generally be redeemed upon demand. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions and attempts to limit exposure with any one institution. For trade receivables, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables. Sales of the Company’s products are concentrated among specific customers. For fiscal year 2022, the Company’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 44% of its net revenue and 79 customers accounted for approximately 90% of its net revenue. As the Company is a provider of manufacturing services and solutions and products are built based on customer specifications, it is impracticable to provide revenues from external customers for each product and service. Sales to the following customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues, expressed as a percentage of consolidated net revenue, and the percentage of accounts receivable for the customers, were as follows: Percentage of Net Revenue Percentage of Accounts Receivable 2022 2021 2020 2022 2021 Apple, Inc. (1) 19 % 22 % 20 % * * Amazon.com (2) 11 % * 11 % * * * Amount was less than 10% of total. (1) Sales to this customer were reported in the DMS operating segment. (2) Sales to this customer were reported primarily in the EMS operating segment. The Company procures components from a broad group of suppliers. Some of the products manufactured by the Company require one or more components that are available from only a single source. Segment Data Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses; for which separate financial information is available; and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess the performance of the individual segment and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. The Company derives its revenue from providing comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources on a segment basis. The Company’s operating segments consist of two segments – EMS and DMS, which are also the Company’s reportable segments. The segments are organized based on the economic profiles of the services performed, including manufacturing capabilities, market strategy, margins, return on capital and risk profiles. The EMS segment is focused around leveraging IT, supply chain design and engineering, technologies largely centered on core electronics, utilizing the Company’s large scale manufacturing infrastructure and the ability to serve a broad range of end markets. The EMS segment is a high volume business that produces product at a quicker rate (i.e. cycle time) and in larger quantities and includes customers primarily in the 5G, wireless and cloud, digital print and retail, industrial and semi-cap, and networking and storage industries. The DMS segment is focused on providing engineering solutions, with an emphasis on material sciences, technologies and healthcare. The DMS segment includes customers primarily in the automotive and transportation, connected devices, healthcare and packaging, and mobility industries. Net revenue for the operating segments is attributed to the segment in which the service is performed. An operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net revenue less cost of revenue, segment selling, general and administrative expenses, segment research and development expenses and an allocation of corporate manufacturing expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment income does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring, severance and related charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition and integration charges, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges, business interruption and impairment charges, net, loss on debt extinguishment, (gain) loss on securities, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, other expense (excluding certain components of net periodic benefit cost), interest income, interest expense, income tax expense or adjustment for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Total segment assets are defined as accounts receivable, contract assets, inventories, net, customer-related property, plant and equipment, intangible assets net of accumulated amortization and goodwill. All other non-segment assets are reviewed on a global basis by management. Transactions between operating segments are generally recorded at amounts that approximate those at which we would transact with third parties.

Restructuring, Severance and Related Charges	Restructuring, Severance and Related Charges Following is a summary of the Company’s restructuring, severance and related charges (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 (1) 2021 2020 Employee severance and benefit costs $ 18 $ 5 $ 94 Lease costs — (1) 8 Asset write-off costs — 5 33 Other costs — 1 22 Total restructuring, severance and related charges (2)(3) $ 18 $ 10 $ 157 (1) Recorded during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 for headcount reduction activities. (2) As the Company continued to optimize its cost structure and improve operational efficiencies, $57 million of employee severance and benefit costs was incurred in connection with a reduction in the worldwide workforce during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020. The remaining amount primarily relates to the 2020 Restructuring Plan, which was complete as of August 31, 2021. (3) Includes $1 million, $0 million and $62 million recorded in the EMS segment, $10 million, $9 million and $76 million recorded in the DMS segment and $7 million, $1 million and $19 million of non-allocated charges for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Except for asset write-off costs, all restructuring, severance and related charges are cash costs. 2020 Restructuring Plan On September 20, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors formally approved a restructuring plan to realign the Company’s global capacity support infrastructure, particularly in the Company’s mobility footprint in China, in order to optimize organizational effectiveness. This action included headcount reductions and capacity realignment (the “2020 Restructuring Plan”). The 2020 Restructuring Plan, totaling $86 million in restructuring and other related costs, was complete as of August 31, 2021.

These tax incentives resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $80 million ($0.57 per basic weighted average shares outstanding), $51 million ($0.34 per basic weighted average shares outstanding) and $43 million ($0.28 per basic weighted average shares outstanding) during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. (2) For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022 and August 31, 2021, the impact of foreign tax rates was primarily related to increased income in low tax rate jurisdictions. (3) For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, the changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities was primarily due to the re-measurement of deferred tax assets related to an extension of a non-U.S. tax incentive of $21 million. (4) For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the valuation allowance change was primarily due to an income tax benefit of $26 million for the reversal of a portion of the U.S. valuation allowance and decreased deferred tax assets with corresponding valuation allowances due to the liquidation of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The valuation allowance change for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 was primarily due to the change in deferred tax assets for sites with existing valuation allowances. Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities Significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are summarized below (in millions): August 31, 2022 August 31, 2021 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 176 $ 200 Receivables 4 8 Inventories 16 14 Compensated absences 13 13 Accrued expenses 106 115 Property, plant and equipment 66 71 Domestic tax credits 11 11 Foreign jurisdiction tax credits 4 10 Equity compensation 10 10 Domestic interest carryforwards 4 4 Cash flow hedges — 10 Capital loss carryforwards 20 20 Revenue recognition 32 36 Operating and finance lease liabilities 72 60 Other 27 19 Total deferred tax assets before valuation allowances 561 601 Less valuation allowances (281) (353) Net deferred tax assets $ 280 $ 248 Deferred tax liabilities: Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries $ 57 $ 60 Intangible assets 25 27 Operating lease assets 111 92 Other 10 4 Total deferred tax liabilities $ 203 $ 183 Net deferred tax assets $ 77 $ 65 Based on the Company’s historical operating income, projection of future taxable income, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances recorded. The net decrease in valuation allowances for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 is primarily due to the reversal of a portion of the U.S. valuation allowance and the change in deferred tax assets for sites with existing valuation allowances. The Company’s assessment that led to the partial release of the U.S. valuation allowance considered all available positive and negative evidence including, among other evidence, the impact of historical operating results and the impact of projected future taxable income upon application of the incremental cash tax savings approach for GILTI. As of August 31, 2022, the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the remaining earnings from its foreign subsidiaries for which a deferred tax liability has not already been recorded. The accumulated earnings are the most significant component of the basis difference which is indefinitely reinvested. As of August 31, 2022, the indefinitely reinvested earnings in foreign subsidiaries upon which taxes had not been provided were approximately $2.9 billion. The estimated amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability on these reinvested earnings was approximately $0.2 billion. Tax Carryforwards The amount and expiration dates of income tax net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and tax capital loss carryforwards, which are available to reduce future taxes, if any, as of August 31, 2022 are as follows (in millions): Last Fiscal Year of Expiration Amount Income tax net operating loss carryforwards: (1) Domestic - federal 2038 or indefinite $ 13 Domestic - state 2042 or indefinite $ 54 Foreign 2037 or indefinite $ 567 Tax credit carryforwards: (1) Domestic - federal 2032 $ 7 Domestic - state 2027 or indefinite $ 4 Foreign (2) Indefinite $ 4 Tax capital loss carryforwards: (3) Domestic - federal 2026 $ 76 (1) Net of unrecognized tax benefits. (2) Calculated based on the deferral method and includes foreign investment tax credits. (3) The tax capital loss carryforwards were primarily from an impairment of an investment that was deemed worthless for tax purposes. Unrecognized Tax Benefits Reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits is summarized below (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 2021 2020 Beginning balance $ 241 $ 190 $ 164 Additions for tax positions of prior years 22 15 10 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (21) (3) (9) Additions for tax positions related to current year (1) 36 36 27 Cash settlements (3) — (1) Reductions from lapses in statutes of limitations (3) (2) (1) Reductions from non-cash settlements with taxing authorities (9) — (2) Foreign exchange rate adjustment (10) 5 2 Ending balance $ 253 $ 241 $ 190 Unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate (if recognized) $ 150 $ 139 $ 109 (1) The additions for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are primarily related to taxation of certain intercompany transactions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company’s accrued interest and penalties were approximately $30 million as of August 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company recognized interest and penalties of approximately $0 million, $7 million and $4 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the August 31, 2022 unrecognized tax benefits could decrease during the next 12 months by $18 million, primarily related to taxing authority agreements associated with intercompany transactions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2018. In major non-U.S. and state jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2009, respectively.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Business Acquisitions	Business AcquisitionsDuring fiscal year 2018, the Company and Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies (“JJMD”) entered into a framework agreement to form a strategic collaboration and expand its existing relationship. The strategic collaboration expands the Company’s medical device manufacturing portfolio, diversification and capabilities. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, under the terms of the framework agreement, the Company completed the initial and second closings of its acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. On September 30, 2019, under the terms of the framework agreement, the Company completed the third closing of its acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. The aggregate purchase price paid for the third closing was approximately $113 million in cash. For the third closing, total assets acquired of $196 million, including $81 million in contract assets, $34 million in inventory and $56 million in goodwill, and total liabilities assumed of $83 million, including $74 million of pension obligations, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. There were no intangible assets identified in this acquisition and the goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce. The majority of the goodwill is currently not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. On October 26, 2020, under the terms of the framework agreement, the Company completed the fourth closing of its acquisition of certain assets of JJMD. The aggregate purchase price paid for the fourth closing was approximately $19 million in cash. Total assets acquired of $30 million and total liabilities assumed of $11 million were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquisitions of the JJMD assets were accounted for as separate business combinations for each closing using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations were included in the Company’s consolidated financial results beginning on September 30, 2019 for the third closing and October 26, 2020 for the fourth closing. The Company believes it is impracticable to provide pro forma information for the acquisitions of the JJMD assets.

Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Aug. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Company has made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior periods’ Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to the current presentation.
Use of Accounting Estimates	Use of Accounting Estimates Management is required to make estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash equivalents consist of investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of 90 days or less.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables and other miscellaneous receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses based on historical losses, the age of past due receivables, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. Bad debts are charged to this allowance after all attempts to collect the balance are exhausted. As the financial condition and circumstances of the Company’s customers change, adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are made as necessary.
Contract Balances and Revenue Recognition	Contract Balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing a customer (“contract assets”) while a liability is recognized when a customer provides consideration prior to the Company transferring control of the goods or services (“contract liabilities”). Amounts recognized as contract assets are generally transferred to receivables in the succeeding quarter due to the short-term nature of the manufacturing cycle. Contract assets are classified separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and transferred to receivables when right to payment becomes unconditional. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses related to contract assets based on historical losses, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from our customers. Revenue Recognition The Company provides comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services to companies in various industries and end markets. The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from production and product management services (collectively referred to as “manufacturing services”), which encompasses the act of producing tangible products that are built to customer specifications, which are then provided to the customer. The Company generally enters into manufacturing service contracts with its customers that provide the framework under which business will be conducted and customer purchase orders will be received for specific quantities and with predominantly fixed pricing. As a result, the Company considers its contract with a customer to be the combination of the manufacturing service contract and the purchase order, or any agreements or other similar documents. The majority of the Company's manufacturing service contracts relate to manufactured products which have no alternative use and for which the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the work completed to date. As a result, revenue is recognized over time when or as the Company transfers control of the promised products or services (known as performance obligations) to its customers. For certain other contracts with customers that do not meet the over time revenue recognition criteria, transfer of control occurs at a point in time which generally occurs upon delivery and transfer of risk and title to the customer. Most of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual manufactured product or service is capable of being distinct and is distinct within the context of the contract. For the majority of customers, performance obligations are satisfied over time based on the continuous transfer of control as manufacturing services are performed and are generally completed in less than one year. The Company also derives revenue to a lesser extent from electronic design services to certain customers. Revenue from electronic design services is generally recognized over time as the services are performed. For the Company’s over time customers, it believes the measure of progress which best depicts the transfer of control is based on costs incurred to date, relative to total estimated cost at completion (i.e., an input method). This method is a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods or services because it results in the recognition of revenue on the basis of the Company's to-date efforts in the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected efforts in the satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company believes that the use of an input method best depicts the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts. The transaction price of each performance obligation is generally based upon the contractual stand-alone selling price of the product or service. Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration, such as periodic cost of materials adjustments, rebates, discounts, or returns. The Company recognizes estimates of this variable consideration that are not expected to result in a significant revenue reversal in the future, primarily based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs. The Company is responsible for procuring certain components from suppliers for the manufacturing of finished goods at the direction of certain customers. If the Company does not obtain control of these components before they are transferred to the customer, the Company accounts for revenue associated with such components on a net basis. Revenue associated with components procured directly from customers is accounted for on a net basis if the components do not constitute a distinct good or service from the customer. Taxes collected from the Company’s customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations on a net basis and are excluded from the transaction price. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the goods. Accordingly, the Company records customer payments of shipping and handling costs as a component of net revenue, and classifies such costs as a component of cost of revenue.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis) and net realizable value. Inventory is valued based on current and forecasted usage, customer inventory-related contractual obligations and other lower of cost and net realizable value considerations. If actual market conditions or customer product demands are less favorable than those projected, additional valuation adjustments may be necessary.
Fulfillment Costs	Fulfillment Costs The Company capitalizes costs incurred to fulfill its contracts that i) relate directly to the contract or anticipated contracts, ii) are expected to generate or enhance the Company’s resources that will be used to satisfy the performance obligation under the contract, and iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated from the contract. Capitalized fulfillment costs are amortized to cost of revenue as the Company satisfies the related performance obligations under the contract with approximate lives ranging from 1 year to 3 years. These costs, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, generally represent upfront costs incurred to prepare for manufacturing activities. The Company assesses the capitalized fulfillment costs for impairment at the end of each reporting period. The Company will recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount of the capitalized costs exceeds the recoverable amount. Recoverability is assessed by considering the capitalized fulfillment costs in relation to the forecasted profitability of the related manufacturing performance obligations.
Property, Plant and Equipment, net	Property, Plant and Equipment, net Property, plant and equipment is capitalized at cost and depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives for major classes of depreciable assets are as follows: Asset Class Estimated Useful Life Buildings Up to 35 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or useful life of the improvement Machinery and equipment 2 to 10 years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 years Computer hardware and software 3 to 7 years Transportation equipment 3 years Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of operating income.
Leases	Leases The Company has lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed beginning in fiscal year 2020, the Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for building and real estate leases. The Company primarily has leases for buildings, machinery and equipment with lease terms ranging from 1 year to 34 years. Leases for other classes of assets are not significant. For any leases with an initial term in excess of 12 months, the Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at contract inception by evaluating if the contract conveys the right to use and control the specific property or equipment. Certain lease agreements contain purchase or renewal options. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Generally, the Company’s lease agreements do not contain material restrictive covenants. Right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date. When determining the present value of future payment, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate when the implicit rate is not readily determinable. Any payment deemed probable under residual value guarantees is included in lease payments. Any variable payments, other than those that depend on an index or rate, are excluded from right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain equipment and buildings held under finance leases are classified as property, plant and equipment and the related obligation is recorded as accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of assets held under finance leases is included in depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company accounts for goodwill in a business combination as the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired and is assigned to the reporting unit in which the acquired business will operate. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit is impaired. If the qualitative assessment is not performed or if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting units based on an average weighting of both projected discounted future results and the use of comparative market multiples. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a loss recognized in the amount equal to that excess. The recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the fair value. The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible is impaired. If the qualitative assessment is not performed or if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible exceeds the carrying value, the Company determines the fair value principally based on a variation of the income approach, known as the relief from royalty method. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is considered impaired. Business combinations can also result in other intangible assets being recognized. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on either a straight-line or accelerated basis over their estimated useful life and include contractual agreements and customer relationships, tradenames and intellectual property. No significant residual values are estimated for the amortizable intangible assets.
Long-lived Assets	Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset or asset group is measured by comparing its carrying amount to the undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group over its respective fair value, which is generally determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows or as the appraised value.
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments All derivative instruments are recorded gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of tax, and is subsequently reclassified into the line item within the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period in which the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognized immediately in current earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, gains and losses from changes in fair values are recognized in earnings. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Foreign Currency Transactions	Foreign Currency Transactions For the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use a currency other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, the assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The effects of these translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in operating income.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period for outstanding stock awards. The stock-based compensation expense for time-based and performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“restricted stock units”) is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. For restricted stock units with performance conditions, stock-based compensation expense is originally based on the number of shares that would vest if the Company achieved 100% of the performance goal, which is the intended outcome at the grant date. Throughout the requisite service period, management monitors the probability of achievement of the performance condition. If it becomes probable, based on the Company’s performance, that more or less than the current estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to stock-based compensation expense will be recognized as a change in accounting estimate in the period that such probability changes. The stock-based compensation expense for market-based restricted stock units is measured at fair value on the date of grant. The market conditions are considered in the grant date fair value using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to determine the probability of the Company achieving the specified market conditions. Stock-based compensation expense related to an award with a market condition will be recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service period has been completed. The Company currently expects to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Deferred tax assets (“DTA”) and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. The Company records the effects of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) as a period cost and applies the incremental cash tax savings approach when analyzing the impact GILTI could have on its U.S. valuation allowance. The incremental cash tax savings approach considers the realizable benefit of a net operating loss and deferred tax assets by comparing the incremental cash taxes in the calculation of GILTI with and without the net operating loss and other DTAs.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share The Company calculates its basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to Jabil Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the effect of dilutive securities. The difference between the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding and the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is primarily due to dilutive unvested restricted stock units.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsFair value is categorized in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used. Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
New Accounting Guidance	New accounting guidance adopted during the period did not have a material impact to the Company.Recently issued accounting guidance is not applicable or did not have, or is not expected to have, a material impact to the Company.

Schedule of Weighted-Average Actuarial Assumptions	Weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost and PBO for the plans for the fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2022 2021 2020 Net periodic benefit cost: Expected long-term return on plan assets (1) 3.0 % 2.9 % 3.0 % Rate of compensation increase 2.2 % 2.1 % 2.0 % Discount rate 0.7 % 0.8 % 0.5 % PBO: Expected long-term return on plan assets 3.6 % 3.0 % 2.9 % Rate of compensation increase 2.1 % 2.2 % 2.1 % Discount rate (2) 2.6 % 0.7 % 0.8 % (1) The expected return on plan assets assumption used in calculating net periodic benefit cost is based on historical return experience and estimates of future long-term performance with consideration to the expected investment mix of the plan. (2) The discount rate is used to state expected cash flows relating to future benefits at a present value on the measurement date. This rate represents the market rate for high-quality fixed income investments whose timing would match the cash outflow of retirement benefits. Other assumptions include demographic factors such as retirement, mortality and turnover.
Schedule of Fair Values of Plan Assets by Asset Category	The fair values of the plan assets held by the Company by asset category are as follows (in millions): August 31, 2022 August 31, 2021 Fair Value Fair Value Asset Fair Value Asset Asset Category Cash and cash equivalents (1) Level 1 $ 13 3 % $ 15 3 % Equity Securities: Global equity securities (2)(3) Level 2 197 43 % 222 39 % Debt Securities: Corporate bonds (3) Level 2 203 44 % 262 45 % Government bonds (3) Level 2 34 7 % 58 10 % Other Investments: Insurance contracts (4) Level 3 12 3 % 19 3 % Fair value of plan assets $ 459 100 % $ 576 100 % (1) Carrying value approximates fair value. (2) Investments in equity securities by companies incorporated, listed or domiciled in developed and/or emerging market countries. (3) Investments in global equity securities, corporate bonds, government securities and government bonds are valued using the quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. (4) Consist of an insurance contract that guarantees the payment of the funded pension entitlements, as well as provides a profit share to the Company. The profit share in this contract is not based on actual investments, but, instead on a notional investment portfolio that is expected to return a pre-defined rate. Insurance contract assets are recorded at fair value and is determined based on the cash surrender value of the insured benefits which is the present value of the guaranteed funded benefits. Insurance contracts are valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), primarily by discounting expected future cash flows relating to benefits paid from a notional investment portfolio in order to determine the cash surrender value of the policy. The unobservable inputs consist of estimated future benefits to be paid throughout the duration of the policy and estimated discount rates, which both have an immaterial impact on the fair value estimate of the contract.
Schedule of Estimated Future Benefit Payments	The Company expects to make cash contributions between $23 million and $28 million to its funded pension plans during fiscal year 2023. The estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are as follows (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended August 31, Amount 2023 $ 34 2024 $ 28 2025 $ 30 2026 $ 29 2027 $ 29 2028 through 2032 $ 141
